About the Startup
Describe your product in 3 words.
Lincoln from Lincolns
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
I saw an article about a father and son who created a giant portrait of Abe Lincoln out of pennies. Their image was much larger and they used two shades of pennies. I thought other parents and kids might enjoy a project like this and went about trying to create an improved, easier to assemble version on my computer. Using four shades of pennies, I was able to decrease the size of the image to 18? x 24? (846 pennies) which seemed a bit more manageable.
What makes your product special?
Who doesn't love money and America? This item is so unique, you should probably order two of them. Although, I guess that would make the second one not quite as unique... But you should still probably order two just because they are so gosh darn American that nobody could possibly question your patriotism with two of these on your wall. At the very least, you should buy one or people might suspect you of being a communist.
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
I love it when people send photos of their finished portraits to my website, www.PennyPortrait.com. The happy faces of people who've taken the time to create their own little penny masterpieces is a constant delight to me. Also, I package these by hand (Made in America!) and so it allows me a lot of time to catch up on my favorite video series on Amazon Prime. (Yes, I'm blatantly kissing up to Amazon, but they sell a lot of portraits for me...)

I am impressed. This thing looks amazing!

Lots of fun with the kids. I did find out it is a bit cheaper to buy this on the actual PennyPortrait com website (and they give you an old historic steel penny. That would have been cool to have!). That being said, I couldn’t be happier with the way ours turned out. The trick is to sort your pennies ahead of time. My boys are super proud of this and want to take it to school to show their teachers. I’m sure it will be hanging proudly on our wall for years to come. A real conversation starter.
